TrueAchievements
Edit (5th October 2015): following Title Update 16, the original method of unlocking this achievement became invalid, and an alternate method was introduced.
NEW METHOD (after 5th October 2015)
Note: this method is retroactive. If you had collected 1 coin in crossroads before the title update, this achievement will (or should...) unlock when you start the game for the first time after the patch.
To collect coins in crossroads:
1. From the main menu select "Play" and then "Crossroads: play and change a game"
2. Choose any option (it doesn't matter which), until you have chosen your champion and have control of him/her. Begin your adventure by walking forwards to the highlighted character (the one with a yellow exclamation point - ! - above their head) and interact with them by pressing
. After a couple of conversations, and you have chosen your enemy threat, you'll be returned control of your character. Defeat 1 of the 3 enemies presented to you, and collect the coin they dropped.
Don't forget to continue on and collect 25 coins to earn these two achievements too:
The Photographic Memory achievement in Project Spark worth 84 pointsMake 10 matches in the Spark Treasure Trove game or collect 10 coins in Crossroads.
The Match Game 25 achievement in Project Spark worth 131 pointsMake 25 matches in the Spark Treasure Trove game or collect 25 coins in Crossroads.
ORIGINAL METHOD (no longer valid, but left here for posterity)
To make a match, you will need between 1 and 11 Golden Tickets to spend in a single week. If you are incredibly lucky, you can make a match on your first attempt. If you are incredibly unlucky, you will need 11 attempts (10 to reveal the whole board, and the 11th to make that match.)
To guarantee making a match, I recommend saving up your Golden Tickets until you have at least 11. Regular users earn 1 a day, Premium users earn 3 a day. You can also purchase them for real money too. Simply Logging into Project Spark earns your ticket(s), just don't use it/them. Once you have 11 Golden Tickets, use them all in one go to guarantee you make one match. Be sure to use a paper+pen to record which prizes are where as you work through the board.
For the purposes of Treasure Trove, the week begins on Monday at 10am Pacific (USA), and each day thereafter begins at 10am Pacific (USA). You can use this website to convert 10am Pacific (USA) to your time zone. (Use USA/California/Los Angeles as the "Convert From" time zone.)
Note:
If you want to earn all but one of the Treasure Trove achievements - including this one - as quickly/efficiently as possible, I recommend saving up your Golden Tickets until you have at least 20. Regular users earn 1 a day, Premium users earn 3 a day. You can also purchase them for real money too. Simply logging into Project Spark earns you your ticket(s), just don't use it/them. You will also need to visit the Treasure Trove board each day for a week. Beginning on Monday and ending on a Sunday, in order to maximize the daily multiplier. Once you have 20 Golden Tickets, and (on a Sunday) the 4.5 multiplier; use them all in one go to guarantee you clear the board. Be sure to use a paper+pen to record which prizes are where as you work through the board.
edit (25th August 2015): updated solution to reflect new board reset days and times.
